"All associates at Preffered Chiropractics are amazing! They have helped me get back to my life. I am no longer in pain due to their assistance. I would recommend them to anyone. I love them!"
-Amanda W.

"Dr. Vanderloo treated my severe lower back pain, so I can walk and sleep comfortably in a relatively short time. He is a good communicator with much patience. His staff members are friendly and knowledgeable. I am glad I found this chiropractor."
-Chan H.

"Since day 1, they’ve been so efficient and helpful. I walk out of there knowing it’s benefited me! I was is sore need (pun intended) of help being well into my third trimester of my pregnancy, feeling like I was literally falling apart! I hurt everywhere! I said I felt like I had some odd nerve pain going on in my foot, so they addressed it, successfully! Even my hands, elbow and knee! And they’re equipped with a table for maternity clients! I truly feel it’s the best and most thorough chiropractic experience I’ve ever had. And the massage therapist does more than just a ‘feel good’ massage. They have been, and still are, helping me and my family feel our best! Thank you so much!"
-Angela S.

Today, I am almost completely pain free. The employees are very friendly and willing to work with you to make everything as convenient as possible. I would recommend this chiropractor and his staff to anyone."

Water and Your Body
The body is made up of 60 to 65 percent water. Many of the body’s functions depend on proper hydration to function -- and certainly to function optimally. Every cell in the body requires water. Water also does many other things, including:
Carries nutrients and oxygen to cells
Regulates body temperature
Flushes out waste products in kidney and liver (decreasing the load on these organs)
Moistens tissues (think mouth, eyes, nose)
Makes minerals and other nutrients accessible to the body by helping dissolve them
Protects body organs and tissues
Helps increase the ease of bowel movements and prevents constipation
Assists in the metabolism process (think about this if you want to lose weight or are looking to increase your energy)
Provides proper lubrication of the joints
This list in not complete, but offers some insight into how water assists the body. Needless to say, it’s important. Really important.

One great side effect of chiropractic is pain relief. Yes, side effect -- because, in addition to proper spinal joint function, one of the main focuses of chiropractic is nervous system health. When the nervous system is working optimally, the body knows what to do, and you’ll often experience a decrease in pain and symptoms from overuse and other dance-related injuries/pain. Chiropractic is often used by the best of the best for increased performance and total body care. #Preferredchiropracticofmidland #Preferredchiropractic #DrShawneeMangino #DrNathanVanderloo #Midlandmi #Chiropractorsofmidland #Health #Wellness #Weightloss #Chiropractichealth #Spine #Back #neck #posture #Michigan #chiropracticadjustment #cervical #lumbar #thoracic #alignement #midlandchiropractic #adjustments #Chiropracticassistants #massagetherapist #massage #therapy #midlandmi #Voted1
Don’t let your dancing suffer. Whether you are looking to improve your routine, the health of your body, or recover from injuries, chiropractic adjustments can help you dance harder, longer and better!

From the very moment you first tasted sugar, feel good endorphins flooded your brain and boosted your mood. As time goes on, it takes more sugar to replicate that feeling and without even knowing it, many of us are consuming the equivalent of 53 heaping teaspoons of white sugar every day! We want to help you live a happy and healthy life, and one way to do that is to reduce your sugar intake. #Preferredchiropracticofmidland #Preferredchiropractic #DrShawneeMangino #DrNathanVanderloo #Midlandmi #Chiropractorsofmidland #Health #Wellness #Weightloss #Chiropractichealth #Spine #Back #neck #posture #Michigan #chiropracticadjustment #cervical #lumbar #thoracic #alignement #midlandchiropractic #adjustments #Chiropracticassistants #massagetherapist #massage #therapy #midlandmi #Voted1

Function follows form. The ability of the athlete to function is affected by their form. Meaning, you’ll ultimately be able to run farther if you have proper running posture versus someone who doesn’t.
When spinal joints are restricted in range of motion, or stuck, full spinal range of motion is decreased. This decrease will eventually affect the athlete’s ability to get into the proper posture or hold it properly while performing the activity. This will negatively affect their performance.
The chiropractic adjustment restores proper range of motion in spinal joints and supports proper postural mechanics. Utilizing the benefits of the chiropractic adjustments positively affects the athlete and their ability to function.
If you are someone who loves your endurance sport or even someone who wants to get started participating in them, know that chiropractic is a great choice for you. The athletes at the top of their professional game know this and let it serve them. So let chiropractic serve you!#Preferredchiropracticofmidland #Preferredchiropractic #DrShawneeMangino #DrNathanVanderloo #Midlandmi #Chiropractorsofmidland #Health #Wellness #Weightloss #Chiropractichealth #Spine #Back #neck #posture #Michigan #chiropracticadjustment #cervical #lumbar #thoracic #alignement #midlandchiropractic #adjustments #Chiropracticassistants #massagetherapist #massage #therapy #midlandmi #Voted1

Your brain and spinal cord are the only organs fully encased in bone. That should be a strong indicator of just how important they really are to the function of the wonder that is the human body. Because they are so important, it’s vitally important you take care of them with the help of chiropractors, such as those at Preferred Chiropractic of Midland. Chiropractors help keep the spine -- which encases the all-important nervous system that controls your every action (blinking, anyone?) -- free of restrictions that might dull your body’s inner mechanisms from working correctly, quickly, and efficiently.
We protect what we love. Our body gave us a skull and spine to protect our brain and spinal cord. It’s up to you to protect the skull and spine. After all, you want to put off losing to your child at backgammon for as long as possible.#Preferredchiropracticofmidland #Preferredchiropractic #DrShawneeMangino #DrNathanVanderloo #Midlandmi #Chiropractorsofmidland #Health #Wellness #Weightloss #Chiropractichealth #Spine #Back #neck #posture #Michigan #chiropracticadjustment #cervical #lumbar #thoracic #alignement #midlandchiropractic #adjustments #Chiropracticassistants #massagetherapist #massage #therapy #midlandmi #Voted1

Chiropractors don’t treat asthma. They do, however, look at the functioning of the entire body as a result of how well the spine is moving or not moving. If a patient is suffering from an ailment such as asthma, the chiropractor looks at the level of the spine that is associated with those structures involved. With regard to asthma, if necessary, chiropractors can check and adjust the thoracic spinal segments because the nerves that exit this portion of your spine innervate (or supply) the lungs and bronchial tubes.
When the thoracic spine is misaligned or not moving through its full range of motion, it can also impede the ability of the lungs to expand fully with inhalation. So when chiropractors adjust the spine and restore the full range of motion to the thoracic spine, it aids in the lungs’ ability to take in the maximum amount of air possible. While this decrease in movement may seem minimal, all motion counts no matter how small, especially if one is dealing with asthma.
So yes, chiropractic may help those with asthma.
If you deal with asthma and are looking to use more conservative measures, let the chiropractors at Preferred Chiropractic of Midland check your spine and assist you and your lungs in the healthiest life possible.#Preferredchiropracticofmidland #Preferredchiropractic #DrShawneeMangino #DrNathanVanderloo #Midlandmi #Chiropractorsofmidland #Health #Wellness #Weightloss #Chiropractichealth #Spine #Back #neck #posture #Michigan #chiropracticadjustment #cervical #lumbar #thoracic #alignement #midlandchiropractic #adjustments #Chiropracticassistants #massagetherapist #massage #therapy #midlandmi #Voted1
